Lewis Hamilton has won the British Grand Prix for the fifth time in his career. Valtteri Bottas finished second after a late race charge while both Ferraris dropped down the order following left front punctures close to the end. Raikkonen salvaged by completing the podium.

I need to know which tires they'll carry for the race to understand that.
. Hopefully with another nice graph.
? Can't wait for Horner's analysis.
Well that is a pretty big f up by Ferrari.
Combined with Baku that's a c.30 point swing Mercedes have cost themselves due to comedically incompetent errors. One more result like this and they might as well not bother turning up to a GP. It would have the same effect but would save them wear on parts. I can see Toto now "We took the wrong turning near Dusseldorf and didn't notice until we were in Valdivostock." 
Hamilton was basically stationary at the start of the final corner complex. Grosjean was on a hot lap and clearly had to brake more heavily than he should have done.
That is always so hard to say, quite a lot I think. On the intermediates on a drying track Verstappen was faster then Hamilton who was doing his round later even. But the pole lap was great, the downshift after Maggots and Becketts was the perfect decision and he hit almost all the corners perfect (without any corrections)iotar__ wrote: ↑15 Jul 2017, 15:36- Hamilton up to his slowing down tricks again, let's wait for another equal and more equal FIA's farce
- So they're going with softs for Bottas if it's dry. OK, ninth and chance to lose some during first lap.
- Vettel slower than Raikkonen (again), We missed another epic Ham-Vett battle, someone tells that Marchionne
- Mercedes - Red Bull = 1,53 s. How much of that is the car
